Hi,

I've followed the guide and tried to install Citadel on port 8080.

The service NEVER starts - I'm sure it's not installing properly but I'm not sure where to look for the errors. A complete newbie question but where would the log be (or is it possible to start a service with verbose output??

I looked in /var/logs/ and can't see anything for citadel.

Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 30937 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace citadel-server 7.86-1 (using .../citadel-server_7.86-1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement citadel-server ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
Setting up citadel-server (7.86-1) ...
applying your settings.
Setup is finished, but the Citadel server failed to start.
Go back and check your configuration.

Doing some Googling I found that it might need the ProxyPass enabled so I did this and restarted (including Apache) and even tried a purge and reinstall.

I realise the above isn't going to give anyone the information to help me fix it but I can't even get the errors!! So what I need is a pointer to how / where I can get the reasons for the service failing.

Any pointers much appreciated.

Mmm after an unrelated reboot seems it wanted port 80 as it blocked Apache from it.

I've removed it for safety for now.
running:

apt-get purge citadel-suite
apt-get autoremove

Last time I did this the reinstall didn't give me the port options which I assume is because there is a config file that I haven't removed. What do I need to clean up?

For anyone else with issues.. that didn't kill the service.
apt-get purge citadel-server
apt-get purge citadel-client

... still monitoring now.
